ThinkPad X1 Carbon

My coworker is totally in on the bambu train. He bought a P1S, sold it because he wanted the shiny stuff of the x1 carbon. 4 month later sold the x1c to buy the H2D and now has sold the H2D to buy a H2C, not even half a year later. That would drive me nuts.

4k display kills your battery. Avoid X1 Carbon if you don't like soft touch coating. Some other models might have a soft touch as well, so look that up before buying. I'd go with the same CPU you had, 1185g7 is a good option on a budget. Or AMD 6650u, 6850u are still powerful enough, battery efficie

I feel like a Macbook Air is excellent value for money at that price point. If you want a good ThinkPad (say X1 carbon) you'll probably need to pay more. But maybe do the research and ask a question based on exact models you can get at that price point locally.

Some don't understand that an ultra-light X1C is truly shit if you need to do any kind work that requires performance ("The laptop was expensive and does everything I need - so it sure

Nano are rare and overpriced, at least here in europe.You can go for a "recent" X13 for the small form factor, or even X1 Carbon, it's pricey but if you're considering Framework 13 pro ...If you have budget and don't mind waiting T14 gen 7 intel looks very promising with everything replaceable, pant

X1 Carbon Gen 14 is released for a week or so in US, but with garbage last-gen CPU options and no Panther Lake in sight. Huh? I really do not know what you mean. The X1 Carbon Gen 14 is not available with last-gen CPUs. All the available options for it are Panther Lake CPUs.

The X1 Carbons and T series feel nice (especially recent ones) but they're not a solid piece of metal so they're always going to have some creak compared to a MacBook. But the hinges are very solid and the keyboard praise is real. There are a lot of other compromises though compared to a MacBook. Wi

_UPDATE 2: I returned it. The coil whine was driving me mad. It was not only during load but it also appeared during less stressfull scenarios like browsing and office work :/ Total no go for me. You can find a youtube link in this post. Then there was the issue with the speakers doing a "plop" soun
